Time for repairs

Good evening dear reader, today is a big day: we make our first update from Misty Sea ! We landed in Split on Monday where we took our rental car and drove to Marina Ramova: an awesome road along the coast with one problem, you drive 60 km in 1h30… when we arrived, we found Misty Sea who had just been put down in the water. We were super excited to see her again and apparently all well until we inspected how the boat was really doing. We quickly found 3 major problems: One battery had exploded, the ship’s steering wheel was almost impossible to move and the engine wouldn’t start. We got suddenly really anxious about things to come! It turned out that the engine and battery problems were only a single one: the whole battery setup died during the 2 years on land and thus we had almost no power to start the engine. Over the last 4 days, we’ve spent our whole time making repairs and preparing the boat for the trip, and we’re finally starting to see the end of our troubles (hopefully 😉 ). The only important remaining issue is the steering wheel which is still too stiff, but we’re making good progress 🙂

What’s next?

Although we still have a few things to fix, it looks like we’ll be leaving for Dubrovnik on Saturday or Sunday depending on the winds and if everything else goes according to plan… There we’ll probably stay for a few days before deciding on our next stop 🙂
